Hi all,
just post the favourite photo(s) you took with your TLR.
Here is mine, taken with my trusty Rolleiflex T.
A Japanese tourists group on the Champs-Elysées in Paris. They didn't post at all! The girl on the left was looking at me while I was focusing, with a "you won't take a photo will you?" look, and they all burst into laughers when they heard the little "click".
It wouldn't have been possible with another type of camera...
(there might have been a sligth light leak on the top left, or is it because te photo wasn't developped properly?)

Wow, some great pics above. Ian - love that pipe! Now, if he had been sitting astride the pipe, ...! Thafred - don't apologise, the size is perfect, and the images are excellent. I love that shadow, and the colour shot is excellent - very well planned and executed. .

The madness inside the dugout at my little brothers championship little league game... it was tied, 4th inning with a bunch of players on base. my brothers in the middle.
mamiya c300 portra 160vc. sorry, the blue hues and just the way my bad scanner rendered the blacks.

Great photos guys, esp Thafred's, Tarzak's and Telenous'. Reminds me to take the Rolleicord out for a walk one of these days. How do you scan these? Negs, prints, flatbed or do you have that uber expensive Nikon 4000 ED?

@NB23: That photo is fantastic! Her shoes really add the final touches on an already beautiful photo. I thought it gave it sort of an old 50's or 60's look to it. Was the dagger on the floor intentional?

For all of you guys who were using color film, what did you use? I saw that some of you used provia, but what are some other nice medium format films that you've used?

Thanks!

I'm a huge Ultra 50 fan. For some reason I can't see my pics in this thread (my hosting service might be having issues), but I know I have one in my gallery on this site taken with it. Unfortunately it's a film that was axed by Agfa some time ago, though with the revival of the Agfa films who knows what might happen...

An image I shot at Beltring War&Peace show 2007, my skills and the Ciroflex lens quality pale in comparison to your wonderful photos

It's not the best I've ever taken, but the slightly fuzzy quality does give it a ww2-period feel.

Just curious, but can you recall what aperture you used for your photo? The Ciroflex and Graflex 22 (same camera, different name) had some pretty good triplet lenses which are plenty sharp when stopped down, and in my experience, perform acceptably when opened up. If I can ever find the time, I'll post some pics I made with my Graflex 22. The results are good enough that if I'd state they were made using a Tessar or Planar on a Rolleiflex, very few would argue with me.

Having said that, at first glance I thought you had made your exposure in the 1940's.
